A must do - Patrick is a great guide we had a wonderful experience in the catacombs and along the Appian way. The catacombs are amazing and even though extensively restored, are well worth visiting especially with a guide as knowledgeable as Patrick

Awesome tour! October 2023 - Our guide Patrick made our tour fun and informational. He stopped several times to take pictures. He even made a couple extra stops along our tour and gave us an interesting narrative on ancient Rome. Great tour!

Get away from the crowd on the Appian Way - We had a wonderful time with Patrick visiting the Catacombs of Callixto, the Appian Way, and a few other nearby sites. It was great to get off the beaten path to see some parts of Roman history that don't make it onto the city center tour itinerary and were not overwhelmed with tourists.

Great guide and experience - The catacombs tour was short, yet interesting. The 5 stars is for our tour guide, Giorgio, who was absolutely amazing. Since we had extra time, he took us to a few locations around Rome that were not filled with other tourists. He was so informative, professional and fun. Highly recommend their services.

Appian Way, Catacombs, Bonus Sights - Patrick was a wonderful guide and we all had a great time! He was fun and informative and took us to some unique sights that we hadn't even thought of. We booked this tour last minute and were so happy that we did!

Not worth it - The itinerary was seeing Catacombs of Saint Callixtus, Arcibasilica di San Giovanni in Laterano and Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. We went to the first one and we were told we have time to visit a couple of sites and because we had time so we visited 2 other sites then at the end of it we were told we were done and we did not even get to see what was on the itinerary
